Start Your Site With These Web Design Basics

Summary:


Designing your first website can be a daunting and time-consuming task. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of design aspects to consider, not including the actual backend development of your site.

Stick to the bare minimum that will still be able to get the job done.

'''2. Layout''' – The most basic decision you will have to make is probably one of the most difficult. Create a layout that is simple and easy on the user's eyes.

All of those other web design ideas are secondary to incorporating an effective call-to-action into the web design.

'''7. Graphics''' – Although web speeds have dramatically advanced over the years, it is still important to design your site with page load times in mind. Many people are using slower mobile devices these days and you don't want them to leave your site because it is trying to load too many graphics.
